Add to your Shopify pins a Buy Now button

Great news! Shopify and Pinterest have just announced the release of buyable pins, a new type of pin that will allow your buyers to buy from your Shopify store directly on Pinterest!

Also if you haven’t yet had a chance to use Pinterest as a marketing channel for your store, now you can use it not only to promote your store but as an additional sales channel for your Shopify store.

So how do you go about doing that? Here is a short guide that will help you in setting up this new sales channel.

Important note: Currently this feature is only available to US stores using Payments by Shopify through Stripe.

Start out by going in your Shopify admin to Settings > Sales Channels.

Under Pinterest click on Add channel.

Next, a popup window will open, click on Add Pinterest to proceed.

Next you will be asked to connect your Shopify store with your Pinterest account, click on Connect to Pinterest to proceed.

Next log in to your Pinterest account and click on Authorize App.

You will now be sent back to your Shopify admin for final authorization, click on Accept terms to proceed.

Once you successfully linked your Pinterest you will be sent back to your Shopify admin and added to the waiting list.

Until the buy now buttons appear on your pins you can review the settings for your pins including choosing color variants and fixing any publishing errors you have.
